C86 I'll Never Forgive You
Yu Qi's lowered eyes slowly moved upwards. He looked at him first and then at the water bottle in his hand.
After a moment of hesitation, he reached out and caught the bottle. He put the cold bottle on his burning cheek.
Lu Bei Chen sat down beside him. The two of them did not speak anymore. The office fell into a deathly silence.
Su Qi came back very quickly. In her hand was an ointment that could reduce swelling.
"Maybe it's not as good as Young Master Jin's ointment, but it should still be effective." It had only been a short period of time. She really couldn't go to Young Master Jin's hospital to buy the ointment.
Lu Bei Chen took the ointment and thanked her in a low voice.
Su Qi did not say anything. She looked at Yu Qi, who was sitting on the sofa, bowed slightly, and went out first.
Lu Bei Chen got up and sat next to her. He squeezed the ointment on his finger and gently applied it on her cheek. He applied it evenly.
Yu Qi, who had his head lowered in silence, suddenly turned his head to look at him. "Do you remember the bear you gave me?"
Lu Bei Chen was startled. He did not know why she would suddenly mention this. He nodded. "Yes."
The bear was a prize in the arcade. It could only be exchanged for with specific points. Yu Qi liked it very much. He begged the manager of the arcade, who was willing to pay ten times the price, but the manager did not agree.
Yu Qi had no choice but to beg him. He was not interested in retarded shooting games, so why would he not agree? In the end, he had no choice but to make a request. If she wanted to get the first place in the entire grade, he would help her win the bear back.
At that time, Yu Qi's results were ranked third in the class, and he was ranked tenth in the entire grade. It would be extremely difficult for him to get the first place in the whole grade.
He was trying to make things difficult for her on purpose so that she would back off.
Yu Qi's persistence towards the bear was beyond Lu Bei Chen's imagination. Other than paying close attention to the class every day, not daring to be distracted for even a second, and sleeping, she was constantly reading and writing training questions.
In the end, she really did get the first place in the entire grade.
Lu Bei Chen had no choice but to fulfill his promise and take her to the arcade. After investing an entire afternoon, he was finally able to successfully exchange for the bear.
Even now, he could still remember the joy on Yu Qi's face when he got the bear. It was as if he had the best treasure in the world!
Later on, Yu Qi had to hug the bear to sleep every night. Sometimes, when he went to his grandparents' house, he had to bring the bear with him.
"After you went abroad, the bear disappeared." Yu Qi licked his dry lips. His voice was as calm as still water, without any ripples.
The hand that Lu Bei Chen used to apply the medicine on her froze. His black eyes were filled with ripples. His voice was tense. "You... lost it?"
Yu Qi shook his head at him. When he spoke, his throat was burning. It was dry and painful. "The first night that Yu Mingzhu and I lived under the same roof, Yu Mingzhu came to my room with the bear in her arms and cut it in front of me."
Lu Bei Chen held his breath. He did not dare think about how sad and helpless she must have been at that time.
"At that time, there was a time when I hated Yu Ming Zhu. I hated her so much that she went back to Yu Family and threw me into hell. She even wanted to destroy the most precious thing in my life. At that time, I really wanted to leave the Yu Family. I didn't want to live in that environment as a criminal, but I didn't have any money, and I had nowhere else to go. Other than you, I didn't even have a friend."
"When I thought of this, I suddenly stopped hating Yu Ming Zhu and thinking about that bear. At that time, you weren't even by my side what I needed the most. What was the use of having that bear?"
"Seven..." Lu Bei Chen stared at her deeply. His thin lips were slightly pursed. He reached out his hand to caress her face.
Yu Qi looked at him with a calm expression. He said without any sadness or joy, "Lu Bei Chen, I don't hate Yu Mingzhu, nor do I hate you, but I will never forgive you."
As soon as she said that, the blood on Lu Bei Chen's face drained in an instant.
"We used to be so close and inseparable. You were the only person in the world that I trusted and relied on other than my parents. However, when my parents gave up on me, and when I needed you the most, you also gave up on me. So I won't forgive you and I don't want to forgive you."
The memories were as warm as they could be, but reality was as cold as ice.
Lu Bei Chen used to be so good to her, but the current Lu Bei Chen made her feel very resentful.
Lu Bei Chen looked at her and wanted to say something, but all of his words were stuck in his throat, and he could not say a word.
"Lu Bei Chen, my biological mother is a murderer. There is no one in the capital who doesn't know about it. The one who left me in the company and made me suffer was not those who mocked and spat on me. It was you. You pushed me to the forefront."
Her thick eyelashes trembled violently. So this was the reason why she didn't want to go to work, but wanted to be an online writer instead?
Because no one on the Internet knew her name, no one knew her appearance, no one knew who she was, what had happened to her, so there would be no rumors, sneers, and insults.
Yu Qi stood up and looked down at him. He smiled indifferently. "Director Lu, I know I don't have the money to break the contract, and I don't care how many people poke me in the back and scold me. I just want to tell you that I am no longer the Yu Qi you knew. You don't have to bear the blame and stain on my name because no matter what you do, that Yu Qi will never be able to come back."
After she finished speaking, she did not look at Lu Bei Chen's expression and walked out of the office in a natural and unrestrained manner.
Lu Bei Chen raised his head mechanically. His eyes chased after her back one by one. His dark eyes were filled with heartache, guilt, and a few secrets.
"Seventy-seven, do you think you are the only one who won't forgive me?"
Even he could not forgive himself.
Yu Qi did not enter the office for the whole afternoon. There was nothing else for him to do. He was in a very bad mood.
The blinds in the office window were lowered. Lu Bei Chen could not see outside. Su Qi had gone to another department and would not be back for a while.
Yu Qi opened a document and started to write a novel. It just happened to describe the scene where the male lead and the female lead encountered danger. The male lead let the female lead leave first, but he was taken away by the terrorist organization. The male lead was bitten by a mutated animal to save the female lead. One of his arms had to be cut off, or he would die.
The female lead watched helplessly as the male lead was taken away, but she could not save him. She felt grief and self-blame, but she forced herself to endure the pain and cut off the male lead's arm...
Yu Qi put on his earphones and listened to the heart-wrenching love song while he wrote lines of words in his mind.
When he wrote that the female lead could not take so many blows and fainted, Yu Qi stopped and touched his cheek.
F * ck!
It was all water. No, it was tears!
He actually cried while writing a novel. He did not know how long he cried. No wonder the swollen half of his face was so painful, as if it was smeared with salt.
After a cursory check, he was sure that there were no mistakes in the words, and the words were all smooth. He saved it to the writer's background, and it would be automatically released tomorrow morning.
Yu Qi turned off the computer, got up, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and when he came back, Su Qi was already back.
